About 13 percent of HBO subscribers polled had a very negative reaction to the Clinton project, versus 8 percent for the Obamas project.The Netflix service showed 20 percent people expressing extremely negative views on the upcoming Clinton project, whereas a few said they will cancel their Netflix subscriptions in opposition to the Obamas project.Amazon Prime subscribers largely were indifferent with Obama and Clinton projects receiving similar negative reactions- 10 percent and 11 percent respectively.
